Some 911 calls from “You Called 911 for What?”

Cap’n Craig Colantoni I actually got a 911 call from an older lady that stated that she need the paramedics out at her house because her husband was having a stroke. She stated that he was in his 70’s and then she told me the one thing i didn’t want to hear, and she said [...]

Hell Day Again

I wish someone would let me know in advance that it is Hell Day.  Maybe I could mentally prepare for the chaos that envelops the day if I knew it was coming.  The very least I could make sure I have a lot of ice available for pina coladas when I got home.  OK, so I [...]

I’ve been thinking

Something is different in my brain today – I’m not sure why.  I know that sounds ominous but it isn’t.
It is very strange really.  I was listening to Bob Marley, thinking about life, and started thinking about maybe it was time to get into shape and consider dating again.  Usually that takes way more years [...]

Worms

Have I ever mentioned that I do not like worms? I hate them.  They are slimy, slithery things that make me want to gag.  I prefer snakes to worms any day of the week – snakes may slither but they generally aren’t slimy.   
Nothing ruins my walks with the dogs like worms.  I can’t relax and [...]

OK So I Was Wrong

I have more like 7,000 words to get done – hope to get most of that done later today before another days worth gets added in.  I have 31,083 words so far so am firmly past the halfway mark.  Course, I’m way past the halfway mark on time too.  My goal is to be done [...]

Traffic and Laundry

Decided to take the “long” way home because that is the street the Laundromat is on although I had half talked myself out of doing the it. The rain has been pouring down and really, who needed clean clothes anyway?
Got past the Super Wal-Mart signal light and traffic came to a screeching halt. I had [...]

Sleepwalking Again

Sometimes I feel like I am sleepwalking through life.  I know most of you know what I’m talking about – I’m not putting forth any real effort to make life better or worse.  I’m floating down the middle of the river without a care which might sound ok but in reality, it isn’t.  Life is [...]

Embarrassing

So I stopped at Panara on my way to work today for some soup.  I ate a bowl there and then took a bowl with me to work of their scrumptious potato soup for later.  As I always do, I stopped in at a convenience store for something to drink.  I didn’t pay much attention [...]

Hilarious

Talk about something being hilariously ironic – I finally get an offer on my condo just after I’m served the foreclosure documents.  Isn’t that just so damn laughable that it makes a person want to laugh till they cry? I know I sure laughed over it.  It is too late, according to the attorney, to [...]

Suicides

There has been a high rate of suicides this past week – more than nine that I’ve counted so far.  I don’t understand why there is a rise in the numbers – is it because we are getting closer to the holidays? Does winter play a factor in this or is it the economy?
How bad [...]
